For those around in the 80s do you remember the first movie you rented from the video store?

Mine was The Road Warrior.

@Miklee02 I wouldn’t mind it either but society evolves, boundaries get pushed. Our kids look at us and say how did you live like that. Just as we did to our parents. And they did to their parents.

@JesseInTX very true!

I wish. I was around in the 80s - for just 3 months
The 80s seemed like the golden days

@SW-User music way better in the 70s but movies yeah we’re great in the 80s.

Come Back to the 5 & 10, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean (1982). A friend was house-sitting for some rich folks.

Didn't get a VCR until mid 90s. I remember my friend renting Hunt for Red October.

rottenrobi · 56-60, F

I remember my mom got Looking For Mr Goodbar. I don't remember my choice.

I don’t remember. I remember renting many of them from a local grocery store that had a little video store section, they had more good movies than some of the regular video stores.

FurryFace · 61-69, M

@cherokeepatti does Aldies rent movies too as well has specials on Eggs and Bacon ?

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@FurryFace no Aldi doesn’t rent movies. I don’t know what their specials are, haven’t been there in a while. We got a new one here that just opened a week or two ago.
